🤔
there's an apostrophe missing
so how did he crash
don't know yet
I suspect some sort of engine trouble
the only F16 mechanic i ever met was a 4' tall latinx mother
it was close to andrews
SINGLE mother
jets don't glixe
*glide
dont the pilots inspect the jets personally before takeoff
how often do crashes occur
I saw one jet crash once in a gore thread
yes they do, but it's impossible to check everything preflight
but it's not a common thing I'm sure
not enough to say common, but more than the public hears about it
looks like around 15 a year
oh wait thats the entire world
yea
looks like 2 or 3 a year
huh
they fixed the V-22 so our incidents have gone down
well I mean if they lose a 10 million dollar jet but get a trillion in funding every year
no biggie
IMO it was 1 crash away from being grounded forever
it dumped a bunch of marines into the potomac during this demonstration flight that was supposed to be "look how good we are"
F-16s are probably like $60mm
w e w
15 million
Christ it's fucking 20 years old
15 million is a good price
why do we still have 20 year old jets
what the FUCK it was invented in 78
what the FUCK
f16 is a good jet imo
